Medical terminology for "stuck" facet joints?

[Jim M2]

For the first two years after ADR I was always complaining on other forums about popping of my lumbar. I would be miserable for days or weeks, then as a result of some motion I could detect a pop or feel something suddently move at the surgery level. Right away I could feel relief starting to come on, like a good painkiller kicking in. I never got painfree but the pain came down from the higher levels. Just the opposite could happen too. There could be a pop and I could suddenly feel pain start to grow. I wonder if stuck facets are the same or related phenomena?

so i think that dislocation was the wrong term for what's going on with my facet joints but rather malalignment? I'm going in on the 3rd so I guess I can find out the actual medical terminology from Dr. Regan.

usually when I feel the pop that you were talking about it would make things worse but I know exactly what you're talking about. How are you feeling by the way?
